The Most Pointless Toy Ever...

[yt]TCselFWrqm0&showinfo=0[/yt]​

This is what you get when you combine batteries with a ping pong ball and a dixie cup. Apparently you play with it by recording you and your friends throwing a ball into a cap and then upload the video to youtube. Not sold yet? It makes annoying sounds and the outside is ugly as hell and tries too hard to look hip.

And apparently its marketed to young adult men with no jobs, but it was my understanding that any boy 13 or over only wants to play with video games or a girl's body. So who exactly is the target audience? Because the sheer stupidity of the product makes me just as mad as it confuses me.

Also theres a trend in Nintendo DS RPG's that I absolutely loathe. Save points. Why the hell can't I save anywhere I want?! Why does it always have to be on a world map or in a designated checkpoint?To me its a tad pointless and unwanted. :\

And I'm soon to hit post 1000 soon, why hasn't anyone celebrated me yet? >:[

But Pet Rocks are awesome~! They are like the most obedient pet ever :P. You can easily take them anywere. They don't crap in the living room. They don't get diseases. And they never die~!
YAY for the pet rock~!
 
Besides, ping pong ball tricks already are a sport of sorts, so why not accessorize with an ugly talking mug?

I mean, the activity involves a ball and a cup, there's a grand total of two things you could pimp out (with graphics, decals and electronic sound), and balls are not a good choice, for a variety of reasons. "Pimp my balls"? No.

Omg bad bad pet rock. You soiled the pet rock name. Now my pet rock will hunt you down~!

@Raika
Poor you, hope you find it back soon~!

@Infinite Zero
Who says you can't talk to them, they just don't talk back.... Or do they?
For licking you... That's were friends are for XD
And friends also make you feel better.

Maybe I need to get another pet rock to keep mine company when I'm gone...

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
    +1
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.
    +1
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.
    +1
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    I have yaoi anime hands, very lorge but slender.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
